The burlesque performance on ITV2’s Britain’s Got More Talent “clearly crossed the line” and failed to protect kids, breaking the U.K. broadcasting code, it said. The show featured 90 seconds of a female candidate performing a striptease to Jungle Book song The Bare Necessities, “removing her dress and shaking her naked bottom at the audience.” The regulator said the show included five scenes that gave “particular focus” to her bottom. – Read more at Hollywood Reporter

Gay, straight, whatever, they should not be getting married at 16, it’s a little too young.” But before he leaves, Chris said he’d like to see Kurt tackle a new musical number: “I’m kind of hoping next season Kurt will start a Madonna cover band so I can do a bunch of her songs.” – Read more at Press Association
